Eliminate the waiting game and safely bale at higher moistures (16-30%)
without the risk of spoilage! University tests show that baling hay at 25%
moisture recovers up to 580 lb more dry matter per acre! Use Bale Champ for
better hay preservation at higher moisture levels. Research at several universities has proven that Bale
Champ Advantage
- Organic acids can prevent excessive heating, mold formation and dry
matter loss of moist hay (16-30%) during storage.
- Harvesting hay at moisture levels greater than 16% reduces field losses
by decreasing leaf shattering during harvest and by decreasing time of
exposure to adverse weather conditions.
- Hay preservatives (propionic acid) reduce storage losses at hay baled at
a moisture content of 16-30%. Less leaf and respiration losses in the field
means more original nutrients
- Improves the feeding value of hay by reducing the mechanical leaf loss
during baling.
- conditions.
- A buffered propionic acid and therefore will not rust or remove paint
from equipment.
- Will not burn your skin.
- Colored green so you can see it through the applicator.
- Bale Champ is available in three convenient package sizes: 50 lb pail,
480 lb barrel and 2,200 lb tote.

Propionic Acid is recognized as the best
single mold inhibiting acid.
Acetic Acid is another powerful mold inhibitor
that works together with propionic acid.
Citric Acid helps maintain freshness, color
and palatability. It also helps lower peak heat level.
Propylene Glycol acts as a surfactant, which
allows Bale Champ to penetrate the hay, rather than just coat the outside. This
keeps the hay softer.
Bale Champ is colored green so
that you can see it through applicators. This makes it easier for the operator
to see that all the equipment is functioning properly. |
